Taurus Season – Cut the Bull!
We’ve charged head first through Aries season, Spring is in full swing and we’ve come into the gentler yet persistent energy of Taurus season. Sweet smelling blossoms fill the air, days stretch out and our lives gain a steady rhythm once again.
Taurus, the second sign of the Zodiac is often considered the most feminine of the signs. Ruled by the planet Venus which represents, beauty, love and pleasure.
Taurus is also a fixed Earth sign giving it a grounded, productive and tangible energy. Encouraging us to both strengthen our foundations and indulge in life’s pleasures. Think of home comforts such as a hearty meal, fine wine and a heavy blanket. This is the epitome of Taurus energy!
Associated with personal resources and the home – I always consider Taurus season the best time to get house and financial affairs into order. After all, our material possessions come under rulership of this sign.
Over the next 4 weeks take a moment to assess your belongings – What value do you assign to them? Are you a bit of a hoarder? What ‘luxury’ is a necessity to you? – allow yourself indulge in it!
The shadow side of Taurus is the notion of stagnation – What are you holding onto (physically or emotionally) that feels heavy and unwanted? Moreover what practical steps can you take to rid yourself of this?
At the end of April we’ve some major shakeups amongst the planets. Most notably Mars opposite Pluto . Pluto being an outer planet and not relating immediately to our personal lives means this conflict and tension is at a larger worldly scale. Perhaps this makes the importance of battening down the hatches in our own personal lives and focussing on our home environment even more relevant.
In the meantime, buy that nice candle, enjoy that chocolate, take a steady walk in the spring air and give away that jumper that’s been lingering about your closet for years – you have no obligation to hang onto it!
